FIV+ stray kitten in a 3rd world country

He's tiny, about 3 months old, been to the vet's a few times, put twice on antibiotics for flu, and now his snort has turned purulent again after stopping for 2 days. He's not fit for vaccinations yet. Vet said his lifespan will be less than a year. I can't help but feel incredibly sad every time he's sick bcuz I'm putting so much effort into taking care of him. He's had anorexia, diarrhea, ringworm all over his body (ongoing).

Question to y'all - how would you deal with this emotionally? Yes I've read they live long productive lives if given proper care and shelter, but this will not be true for him. I can't even find adopters for healthy cats, much less for him, and at some point I'll have to leave him for home.
